It's been a while, but I'll take care of the Abiquo one:
There are a lot of legacy classes there, and even APIs that are out of
the scope of jclouds (infrastructure management, hypervisor discovery,
etc). Also, the latest Abiquo version out there is 3.0 and the
provider supports up to Abiquo 2.4, which is quite old now.
My plan is to remove everything but the skeleton of the project, and
start writing *only* what is needed to implement the ComputeService,
to avoid the feature explosion we have right now. This way I hope
we'll have a clean provider that we'll be able to promote and
maintain.
